Melgen v. Suarez, No. 3D05-1338, COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA, THIRD DISTRICT, February 21, 2007, Opinion Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Because the evidence and the reasonable inferences which could be drawn from the evidence, when viewed in the light most favorable to the driver and car owner, supported the jury's verdict as the entitlement to past medical bills was vigorously contested at trial, the trial court erred in granting a JNOV and the jury's verdict was to be reinstated.

While such an issue was within the trial court's jurisdiction under Reno, the former husband did not invoke that remedy.

Mortgage Elec. Registration Sys. v. Azize, Case No. 2D05-4544, COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA, SECOND DISTRICT, February 21, 2007, Opinion Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: The trial court erred in finding that the mortgage company could never be the proper plaintiff to bring the foreclosure action. As the holder of the note, the company had standing to seek enforcement of the note. Also, Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.210(a), permitted the action to be prosecuted by the company acting for the lender, the real party in interest.

Ocwen Fin. Corp. v. Kidder, Nos. 4D05-2466 & 4D06-15, COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA, FOURTH DISTRICT, February 21, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Judgment for employees was affirmed because the "send a message" closing argument by the employees was proper as the employees sought, but were not awarded, punitive damages. The employer also failed to preserve a new trial argument because the employer, which made objections to evidence, did not file a motion for a mistrial based on the evidence.

View this case - free

View this case - free
